Hi,<br><br>Since I always (until now) use FWTools natively as a 32 bit application could someone please explain how I would convert FWTools to a 64 bit application so that I can run programs like gdalwarp, gdaltindex, and gdal_translate without the extra overhead of emulation from 32 bit to the 64 bit Windows server.
